In hope of one day securing some actual laboratory space, purvislab.org serves as a virtual home for the various projects and personalities I've encountered during my lifetime in academic research.

My research focuses on the integration of complex data sets and mathematical modeling to understand and engineer cellular signaling systems. Together with Scott Diamond and Ravi Radhakrishanan at the University of Pennsylvania, our work has led to insights into human platelet activation and oncogenic signaling via the epidermal growth factor receptor. Prior to working at Penn,  I trained under Lonnie Ingram at the University of Florida learning the fundamentals of molecular biology. One of my long-term goals is to use computational methods to generate accurate, quantitative models of cellular signaling systems that may be used to design patient-specific therapies.

Here is my obligatory CV.
